Hi,

I have the same problem with my '96 850 sedan (Australian version). I also had the same problem with my previous car, a Volvo 740. Cleaning the paint from the underneath of the area where the antenna mounts, so that the mounting hardware can make a good electrical connection to the chassis normally helps in this situation.

It made a really big difference to my 740. I tried the same with the 850, with an improvement but not entirely eliminated.

I rubbed a smear of grease on the bare metal cleaned of paint to prevent/reduce rusting.

I too would be interested if anyone has a complete cure for this.

Regards Barry
